Saskia Jorgensen, a 4th grader from Marshdale Elementary School in Evergreen, was named grand prize winner of the 20th annual Be Kind to Animals Week poster contest. The contest was hosted by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Animal Control section in conjunction with national Be Kind to Animals Week.
Judges from Animal Control, the Sheriff’s Office, and the Table Mountain Animal Center judged hundreds of poster entries on creativity, artistry and message. First, second and third prizes were awarded in each participating classroom, and judges selected Saskia’s poster as “best in show” from among the first place winners.
Saskia’s poster features a dozen different colorful animals, with the message: “There are many types of pets. They all have one thing in common. They need your love, care and affection. Be kind to animals!”
Sheriff Ted Mink will present Saskia with her award on Friday, May 15 at 2 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office semi-annual exemplary awards ceremony. The ceremony will be held in Hearing Room 1 at the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Building. Kids’ Pages magazine has donated an Elitches pass for Saskia.
You can view a slide show of Saskia’s poster and others in the competition by visiting the Sheriff’s Office Web site at www.jeffcosheriff.com and clicking on the blue Flickr icon.
This is only the third year that judges have selected a grand prize winner in the contest.
